Our young writers hard at work!
Our 3rd & 4th graders at Sunset Elementary in San Francisco have cooked up some delicious writing this fall. Exploring writing through the lens of food has produced some delectable results - as well as whet all of our appetites! After many classes just talking about food, yesterday we celebrated by learning about Día de los Muertos food traditions while sampling pan de muerto and sugar skulls - describing food may be easier while eating it!
For a taste of what our young writers have created this fall, sample some of their work below! (Click on the image to read their piece & find out about the exercise that inspired each writer)

These 2nd and 4th grade students have been hard at work creating at Oakland Leaf's after program at Ascend Charter school in Oakland . One of the first projects the students completed was making found-word poems inspired by Shel Silverstein's "If The World Was Crazy".
